Bro-Mitzvah
By Dan Friedman June 11, 2009
There’s a serious debate in the African American community about whether or not to have a commitment ceremony for young men in order to give support and instill certain personal and communal responsibilities.
This is not part of that debate.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
